Thank you Werner,

This is a rather inelegant solution but it works.

Interesting thing:

.so file\"                  \" does not work (utter chaos)
.so file <tabs>       \" does not work
.so file <spaces.   \" it does work

Oh my...

PS I did not know that I can ignore " at the start of the string

I'd like to add

    \" side comments, aligned

to a few things, e.g.

    .so setup
    .ds HE "Something - " App 8

and groff is misbehaving if \" starts with tabs and/or spaces.

There is an escape that can close such things immediately and let me
use \" all aligned at the right.
Just I can't find it. Tell me please.

You can repeat \", like this:


 .ds foo This is a string\"          \" yes, it is a string

Or do you mean something different?
